NJ's version of the Baker Act

I was researching involuntary commission of individuals. Seems the Baker Act, passed in Florida, is the forerunner for similar laws in other states. New Jersey provides for involuntary commission of an individual in N.J.S.A. 30:4-27 et seq. Full text can be found here

You can also find a sample form for a temporary order for involuntary commitment in NJ here
